Stiletto Nails | Filed to a sharp point | Varies | Dramatically pointed like a dagger, Lady Gaga's signature, not practical but maximum impact, 'how do you type?' is the eternal question |

3D Nail Art | Sculpted acrylic/gel embellishments | 2-3 weeks | Flowers, bows, charms literally protruding from nails, K-beauty influence, catches on everything but looks incredible |
